Travis Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Suddenly, in my preferred workspace, the OIP has not only disappeared but the menu selection has also gone gray. Perhaps I've accidentally typed some key combination? Help! Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 1. Have you quit VW and restarted? 2. If a restart did not fix it, it is possible that the OIP has somehow gotten outside of the screen window. With VW open, try setting your screen resolution to something really low like 640x480 or 1024x768. This should force all windows into the active screen area. Then set the resolution back to your preferred setting. Ask again if these don't help. Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Another thing to try is the default shortcut or key command to show/hide the OIP. The Mac OS key shortcut: cmd i (Command key and i key) -B 1 Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Tried all three suggestions and still no joy in 'my' workspace. If I switch to another workspace such as the default Architect, all the pallets work as expected but I'm (nearly) lost otherwise because things/menus/etc aren't where I'm accustomed. I originally customized from one of the default workspaces, but it was probably back in v8 or something. I've modified it to suit my workflow gradually since and hoping to not have to start over. Of course 😉 Edited July 22, 2021 by Travis Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Can you post a copy of your workspace or DM to me directly so I can take a look. Are you really still on VW2015? If so I will have to dig up some old hardware to be able to open that. 1 Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Thanks, Pat, for weighing in. No, I'm running current hard- and software. Just been a minute since I updated my profile. We've never been able to track the core problem(s) down. Luckily, I'd shared my workspace with a colleague who'd done only minor modications. I had her send me a copy which works as expected. Solved my problem and I'm back in business. Now for the weird part: when I sent her the 'broken' workspace from my system, it works fine on hers. When she sends it back, it's still broken on mine. (yes, we renamed the file each time so we could keep track of it) Maybe somethings are better left a mystery? Edited July 23, 2021 by Travis Quote Link to comment
